A Dubuque boy, age 4, sustained multiple injuries Wednesday when he fell from the open window of a 5th floor apartment.

Toya Broaden, who lives with her children on the second floor of the apartments said she was in her apartment about 8pm when she heard something hit one of her window sills. She looked out and saw the child lying on the sidewalk. She told her sister who lived on the 5th floor (and to see if her kids were okay) and her sister realized the child probably belonged to a woman who recently moved in next to her.

The child is now in fair condition.

Is tough another word for dumb?

If that kid just came back from visiting Union Station, I've got just two words:

Karma, bitch.

Wow. 5 stories is terminal velocity, isn't it? At that point he might as well have fallen from anywhere.

As the kids in fair condition:

Did he stick the landing? Or did he lose points for stumbling?
